Versace teamed up with American interior designer Sasha Bikoff and Canadian artist Andy Dixon on a special exhibition at the Italian house’s Milanese headquarters on via Gesu. Here, a bold setting was created to show the new pieces from the brand’s home collection.

“Versace lives through colour and pattern breaking rules,” Bikoff told publication Urdesign. “I have always been drawn to Gianni and Donatella’s work, especially the imagery used in patterns,” Dixon stated.
